The basis for a functioning energy management system is good transparency of energy consumption within the company.

With the help of these measurements, we can predict future consumption in detail and align our energy procurement even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on these energy measurements, we are also able to identify potential energy savings and, after the implementation of energy efficiency projects, to prove their success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"space-medium\">\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"cta-banner\" id=\"block_e057dbea5a7fa57e1b6eab1ffb8841f9\">\n\t<div class=\"inner resetInner\">\n        <div class=\"smaller\">\n            <div class=\"text\">\n                                    <h3>Improvement of Energy Efficiency<\/h3>\n                                                                    <p>The energy consumption per ton of finished goods was reduced by 45% from 2015 to 2023.<br><br>\r\n\r\nReducing electricity consumption in the logistics sector &#8211; This is how we were able to reduce our electricity consumption by 45% between 2018 and 2023.<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"space-large\">\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"image-text\" id=\"block_0fab7079b426057537b3252e8bf9f13a\">\n\t<div class=\"inner resetInner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"gridrow box50 type2 align-center normalCol\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col col1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t\t    \t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.de-vau-ge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EnergySysCert_ISO50001_col-e1652951934756.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"788px\" height=\"auto\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col col2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Further implemented Energy Efficiency Measures<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li>The renewal of compressors including installation and use of heat recovery<\/li>\n<li>A modernization of the superordinate compressor control<\/li>\n<li>A successive modernization of production and logistics halls with LED lighting including presence control and brightness sensors<\/li>\n<li>The replacement of old heating and steam boilers with energy-efficient systems<\/li>\n<li>A comprehensive optimization of the heating system of the logistics center in Tangerm\u00fcnde including the use of a heat pump<\/li>\n<li>The replacement of chillers and cooling tunnels towards more efficient models<\/li>\n<li>The efficiency optimization of the company&#8217;s own sewage treatment plant in Tangerm\u00fcnde, among other things, through the use of speed-controlled ventilation motors and process adjustments<\/li>\n<li>A complete renewal of the forklift fleet with more efficient lithium-ion battery technology \u00b4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t        \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"space-large\">\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"image-text\" id=\"block_921194c51709f9126e668b0cd5e4fa3f\">\n\t<div class=\"inner resetInner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"gridrow box50 type2 align-center reverseCol\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col col1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t\t    \t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.de-vau-ge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_0107-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788px\" height=\"auto\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col col2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Using Heat \u2013 Generating Power:  An Energy Scout Project at DE-VAU-GE<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In October 2024, trainees Francesco Stagliano and Finn Jasper Hennings took part in the Energy Scout workshop organized by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Braunschweig.<br \/>\nAlongside other trainees from the region, they gained practical and detailed insights into energy efficiency, measurement technology, and corporate mobility management.<br \/>\nThe aim of the workshop was to raise awareness of sustainable business practices and identify specific energy-saving potential within the company. This potential should finally be exploited.<\/p>\n<p>After an intensive planning phase in January 2025, Francesco and Finn Jasper analyzed the technical requirements, selected suitable materials, and developed a realistic test scenario.<br \/>\nThe goal of their project was to <strong>convert<\/strong> <strong>industrial waste heat into electrical energy using thermoelectric generators (Peltier elements).<br \/>\n<\/strong>Since direct testing on a production plant wasn&#8217;t possible due to legal restrictions that couldn\u2019t be resolved during the testing period, they built their setup in a simulated environment.<br \/>\nUsing tealights and a cooling pad, they created a targeted temperature difference to demonstrate the functionality of the Peltier elements and collect first measurement results.<\/p>\n<p>With strong support from the technical department, an experimental setup was created that familiarized the trainees not only with <strong>metalworking<\/strong> but also with <strong>measurement technology and data analysis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t        \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"space-medium\">\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"image-text\" id=\"block_6dce269d24419312721be177d993712b\">\n\t<div class=\"inner resetInner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"gridrow box50 type2 align-center normalCol\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col col1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n\t\t\t\t    \t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.de-vau-ge.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250326_152108-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788px\" height=\"auto\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col col2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This measurement data illustrates the potential of the concept, particularly as a <strong>sustainable addition to<\/strong> <strong>industrial energy management<\/strong>.
